When Carrera Heuer-01 was launched at Baselworld in March, it had already surpassed several heads. This watch is the first model to reflect the direction of the TAG Heuer under the leadership of CEO Jean-Claude Biver, as well as a watch that strongly underscores the brand's “avant-garde” positioning. However, despite its modern look, the latest TAG Heuer is similar to the watches produced by Biver's alma mater Hublot, and whether the new Carrera is enough to be Carrera.

These questions are even more important than whether Carrera Heuer-01 will be influenced by collectors, because the ideas and ideas behind Heuer-01 are ideas and thoughts that you can expect to span the TAG Heuer range in 2016. All the new TAG Heuers we've seen this year signed before Biver took over as CEO - apart from Carrera Heuer-01, this is the real product of the new team.

So, there is no pressure to make this one correct! We had the opportunity to borrow one of the prototype Carreras for the first detailed review. If you would like to see every angle and detail of Carrera Heuer-01, then you have the right place.

One of Biver's first decrees to take over the brand is that any watch that uses the internal TAG Heuer movement must look different from other models that use third-party movements - this is not the case. past. This makes sense given the price concessions required for internal movement watches.

Biver is represented by "modularization" in that the case consists of several components that are combined to produce a finished watch. As you can see below, the Carrera Heuer-01 has a separate middle case, bottom cover, bezel and four separate steel lugs that are attached to the titanium carbide coated case.

Compared to the traditional Hyundai Carrera, such as the Calibre 17 model on the lower right, it has a two-piece case consisting of a base and a bezel. The benefit of the modular approach is that it can be changed more easily and cheaply. Use different bezels and lugs to turn the same table into an Aquaracer or Link while carrying more than half of the components.

By looking at the two Carreras side by side, you can clearly see the size of the new 45mm chronograph compared to the 41mm conventional model. However, the Heuer-01 does retain the echo of the familiar Carrera lug, although it is a completely modern package.

A modular shell may make headlines, but the first thing most people will notice is the hollowed out dial - a dial that you like or dislike. Either way, it does give the watch industry a high-tech look. The dial features a polished silver sub-dial at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock and a darker metal sub-dial at 9 o'clock. Also outstanding is the oversized time scale (with a double mark at 12 o'clock position), red flashing, red chronograph hands and details on the case.

Looking closely at the dial, you will see two features that change before the watch goes on the market. The first is the white TAG Heuer logo, actually engraved on the crystal, and the second is the legibility of the black date wheel. The last point is important because, as you can see, reading the date on the prototype takes a lot of effort.Tag Heuer CARRERA CALIBRE HEUER 01 replica watches for sale

When it comes to this watch, the elephant in the room is of course Hublot, a high-end Swiss brand that was revived by Jean-Claude Biver in 2005 when it launched the iconic Big Bang. You don't have to look at it to find the similarities.

So this is not just the appearance of the Carrera Heuer-01, which is influenced by Hublot, but also the way to watch. Given the significant price difference between TAG Heuer and Hublot, the risk of two brands competing for the same buyer is minimal.

The Carrera Heuer-01 has only one strap option - a beautifully designed rubber strap with pull-out perforations. For modern watches like this, it's definitely the right strap type and complements the overall look.

An unusual feature is the use of small metal end pieces between the strap and the case. These parts are suitable for the two grooves at the end of the strap and are held in place by the spring bars. At the top of the strap is a sunken TAG Heuer shield.

You can remove the end pieces to fit other straps, such as the aftermarket Zulu-strap shown below - may not be the best color combination, but certainly the correct thickness to match most cases.Richard Mille RM 067 replica watches price

The 45 mm wide TAG Heuer Carrera Caliber Heuer 01 has a black, steel and red case that doesn't look as good as a watch on a watch. The bold Big Bang style cutout dial and pointer look cool, the overall design is both fun and exciting, just like TAG Heuer has never been. The magic of mechanical watches around 2015 is that mechanical movements and smart companies know how to show this sport to enthusiasts.

The TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 01 watch is included in our list of top 10 watches at the 2015 Basel International Watch & Jewellery Show. This is a relatively low price plus the other things Mr. Biver did at TAG Heuer made me think this is so relevant. Mr. Biver did not ignore the upcoming world of mainstream smart watches, nor did he put all his eggs in that basket. Mr. Biver learned that the youngest luxury watch buyers want it all.

They want modern technology to be an indicator of lifestyle. They want a low-priced traditional watch, they want a brand that participates in something related to them, they don't want a brand to tell them what to get, but give them a choice. It’s entirely possible that I’m getting a deeper understanding of what Jean-Claude Biver did at TAG Heuer, but after seeing him, seeing the new TAG Heuer products and exploring upcoming partnerships and event plans, it’s all It’s quite clear to me

I also like Hublot Big Bang, but I may not see myself spending $20,000 or more because I am not caught in the buyer's income population. However, what I am really interested in is only a small part of the price and seems to offer a similar experience. I think so many other people will do the same.www.greatwatcheshere.com
